A presentation on the Renaissance Academy, held at St. Xavier University for those who are 55+ and over. The purpose of these classes is to continue learning, sharing, and enjoying life. Betty Kort would like to come to our next luncheon on September 28 to give our seniors a presentation regarding the Academy. It was decided that Betty would present at 10:45 before our regular presenter starts at 11:00.
Luncheon menus were discussed. There were various opinions regarding the Polish Sausage and dumplings. There will be no pizza, as it always arrives cold. Joe Pilch has talked to Knootz about too much dressing on the salads. We agreed that meat loaf and mashed potatoes would be good for our next luncheon. Cookies from Costco will be purchased by Commissioner 11, Laurie A. There is one ticket left at this time.
